He had seen this countless times before, back during his old life, when he hadn't been there to comfort people but to profit from their despair. This was different. This was Lisbon. And he would do anything he could to make this go away.

The truth of it is that she misses him. But she could miss him just as easily hundreds of miles away in DC as she does right now, sitting two feet away at her desk. s6 divergent - what if Lisbon had made her decision about Pike without any interference? [J/L fic, worry not]

Just a thought about the end of chapter 6x15.

"You know, Grace and I always thought you and Lisbon would get together." Jane ponders Rigsby's words after leaving the bar.

"Teresa's heart pounded on her chest when she saw his eyes sparkling, she's been married to Jane for 5 years now and she still got butterflies when he looked at her with that soft smile." Glimpses of Jane and Lisbon's life after the series final.

"Lisbon," he said, "I wouldn't do that to you. I'm your partner." She laughed out loud. "Right. My 'partner' who ditches me for six months for an undercover op he can't be bothered to tell me about. My 'partner' who hangs me out to dry in an interview with our lead suspect. I'm a stepping stone to Red John. Just like Lorelei. Except you've had to stand on me for a lot longer."

Lisbon steeled herself for what she was about to say. She let her tongue run over her lips, then swallowed, until she finally replied, "I want you to seduce me."

"I want my life to be free. Free from my past." Teresa Lisbon is aware that the pieces don't fit. Patrick Jane is not himself, and it worries her. The picture constructs itself, but not before Jane has done the irreversible. Budding Jisbon, dark. Final chapter added!

Tommy Volker, fixated with Agent Teresa Lisbon, decides their initial game of cat and mouse is not enough for him. He needs more and he is willing to risk everything for it. (Volker Arc - Canon Divergence. Set in S5.)

They meet at a bar and proceed to rock each other's worlds. But what will happen when the morning after comes? No Red John or Angela

Carnival AU where Patrick didn't get married and he still works at the carnival. Teresa, a rookie cop, happens to meet him while on an outing with friends. / "I. Am. A. Psychic." He enunciated, leaning closer to her than was necessary. "Are you going to ask me these questions every time I do something amazing? I'll be nice and answer this one. Just once."

After Blue Bird. That was a lot left unspoken during season finale (6x22) and the last season so I really had to write this down. I'm not complaning bc after I rewatched it I realized how luck we were for having that last season. Buuut my mind just can't stop thinking about the moments we didnt get to see, so here we go. Teresa Lisbon and Patrick Jane, here we go.

The latest case brings back painful memories of Lisbon's difficult childhood. Patrick Jane is on it. Set during CBI days, around season 3.

"No," she said firmly, suddenly coming to a decision. "I want you to sleep in the bed. With me." Then, realizing how it sounded, she clarified, "I mean next to me. I want you to sleep on one side of the bed and I'm going to sleep on the other side."

AU: Done with Austin and free of the FBI, Jane and Lisbon chart their future in what remains a murky, dangerous world. Set realistically circa 2016-17 US, it immediately follows events in The Long Way Back. It stands alone, but is best after reading its precursor. / Any M sections are ID'd in the chapter. / I do not own The Mentalist and reap no economic benefits from this story.

"Why are you all in your boxers?" Lisbon asked flabbergasted. She darted her eyes around the room to take in the scene. Abbott, Cho, Wiley, and Rigsby were all just staring at her in embarrassment and puffed up machoism. Jane was fully clothed with a smirk on his face. The Mentalist Fanfic: Story set after Il Tavolo Bianco.

She realizes suddenly that she doesn't want to share this, wants to keep him - and them - to herself, safe in their little solar system of two. (Fluff set in an AU in which there was no Pike arc).

Lisbon is trying to come to terms with her growing feelings for Jane, and Jane knows he's in love with Lisbon, but does everything he can not to acknowledge it because he knows it wouldn't be fair to her as long as Red John is still alive. But then Lisbon is abducted by a serial killer and Jane, the only person who could save her, is framed for murder.

She blew out a breath. "I don't understand how it's so easy for you to pretend all this is real." His jaw tightened. "Well, that makes us even then. Because I don't understand how it's so easy for you to pretend that it isn't."

It was an explosive mixture, her need to feel alive and his need to care for her, to finally take what he had wanted for such a long time, using the vulnerable state she was in for his own pleasure, especially now that she was offering herself to him on a silver platter.

Rubies. The blood looks like rubies. The face on the wall looks like a nightmare. (A crime brings the old SCU team back together, and another drives them apart. Set during s6. Rating for canon consistent violence.) COMPLETE!

Jane and Lisbon finally have a conversation they probably should have had sooner... (Post series-finale).

Kimball reflects on his life when Charlotte spends time at the office with them.

Twelve weeks since Jane had shuffled his way into the CBI in a crumpled shirt and lost expression, too exhausted to be guarded, falling into the platonic care of an intense Chicago-born CBI agent. The world has shifted more under his feet in the last eighty or so days than he ever thought it could. (pre-canon in addition to being only vaguely canon-compliant)

Teresa Lisbon Jane has been many things troughout her 40 years of life. Patrick Jane had witnessed most of those aspects in the 14 years he had spent by her side. And now, almost 14 years after he had met her for the first time, he could relish the image of her being a mother holding their child.
